Greetings,

I'm a fairly new user myself but I can share what I've experimented with.

Everything that I've seen says that you need 1 d/b per config per file
system. It is how I run it.

Not necessarily. I have two "data" directories which I mounted
/cluster/data[12] and as a single mount point I had Robinhood just
pointed to /cluster as the top level. It didn't seem to care. For
managerial reasons I ended up splitting it later on into separate mounts
though. I don't know what the cons might be to doing it this way and I
never did anything with NFS so I don't know of any gotcha's there either.

The one caution/heads-up I will give: if you have multiple partitions
then you will need to do some trickery for the web-interface since it
looks to just one db at a time. There are some pointers in the mailing
list[1] and a few attempts at building one[2], but I never got them to
work quite right.

Instead, I use Grafana[3]. If you have a small bit of SQL experience, it
is fairly trivial to pull in the data and display it nicely. If you go
this route, let me know and I might be able to give you some pointers. I
didn't implement the full Robinhood view, just the portions I really
need and found useful but I can at least help you get started.

Robinhood+Grafana has been incredibly useful to me as an admin once I
got it running and scanning well.

Good luck!
